The Quintessential Father and Son Road Trip: Highway Odyssey Published by Outskirts Press
Staten Island, NY, March 14, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Highway Odyssey: Traveling To, or Running From by Alexander Flint. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the adventurers and explorers autobiography category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/highwayodyssey was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
It started with a man, his seven-year-old son, and their custom van. Their task was simple: drive from New York to Colorado, keeping an eye out for adventure. But unbeknownst to Alexander Flint, that first summer in 1978 would start a tradition that lasted for more than two decades -- and brought him to a whole new understanding of his own identity and the world around him.
Highway Odyssey is Flint’s chronicle of those remarkable road trips, filled with unique characters, significant sights and important moments along the way. It’s treacherous at times, as when father and son backpack across the snowfields of the Grand Tetons, climbing over a closed mountain pass on to Hurricane Pass and down into the Alaskan Basin. The trek made Flint’s son eligible for a Guinness record and brought them closer than ever. In the end, what was supposed to be a short visit with old friends turned into an understanding of Flint’s role and responsibility as a single parent struggling with the failure of his marriage.
The ultimate road trip novel, Highway Odyssey is about the healing power of travel and the unyielding strength of family bonds. It is about discovering what really matters in life and making sure we tell the ones we love how important they are.
263 pages in length, Highway Odyssey: Traveling to, or Running From is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the adventurers and explorers autobiography category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Highway Odyssey meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $10.95.
Additionally, Highway Odyssey can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
